PHYSIOPOD UK ARE DELIGHTED TO EXHIBIT AWARD-WINNING DEEP OSCILLATION AT THE UK'S LARGEST PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TRADE SHOW

350+ EXHIBITORS | 300+ SPEAKERS | 1000s VISITORS

DEEP OSCILLATION®

Internationally patented, electrostatic Deep Oscillation therapy results in a unique, deeply penetrating and long-lasting resonant vibration of treated tissue layers to an 8 cm depth (Hernandez et al, 2010). With only minimal pressure required to achieve highly positive treatment outcomes, stress is reduced on the therapists ‘vinyl-gloved hands' and rehabilitation times accelerated, enabling an earlier return to weight bearing exercises and a quicker return to play or normal activities.

Deep Oscillation, which is now utilised in 83 countries in various fields of application, exerts an important influence on the microcirculation of the interstitial connective tissue; improving functions of storage, supply, the transport of nutrients and the removal of toxins. Re-establishment of mobility and mobilisation between the different fibres and layers is enabled due to the creation and improvement of lymphatic drainage and feeding channels in the tissue; sticky fascias and hardened tissues are dissolved, pain is reduced with improved ROM. Chris Boynes presents the theory, the research and practical application, backed up with case studies and videos of his successful five years of use.

DEEP OSCILLATION® is changing the way UK & ROI Healthcare Practitioners treat the patients in their care: working non-invasively, efficiently and to the core of injuries and conditions, without applying pressure, significantly reducing pain and improving function

Winners in the 2016 Global Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards for Innovation with DEEP OSCILLATION®, PhysioPod® UK Ltd are also nominated in the Private Healthcare Awards 2017. Directed by Sisters, Julie Soroczyn and Mary Fickling, they exclusively supply the UK and Ireland with the full range of products from PHYSIOMED ELEKTROMEDIZIN AG via PhysioEquipment UK, a world-wide leading producer of high-quality equipment for traditional and innovative physical therapy in the fields of rehabilitation, sport and aesthetic medicine .

Approved suppliers to the NHS and recommended suppliers of The Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP), they are also well placed and respected among suppliers to the UK's elite sporting world. Aside from traditional treatment forms like electrotherapy, ultrasound, vacuum application, laser, shortwave, microwave, traction, cryotherapy, magnet and shockwave therapy, they also offer several innovative and clinically-tested therapy approaches, which include MAGCELL®, a unique electrode-free electrotherapy and DEEP OSCILLATION®; an internationally patented therapeutic design, which utilizes the forces of pulsed electrostatic attraction and friction to provoke oscillations that act deeply on the tissues of the body; from the epidermis down through the conjunctive and adipose layers and into the muscles, supporting and intensifying manual lymphatic drainasge. (MLD), sports, holistic and equine massage with the added benefit of reducing pressure on the practitioners hands. Hernandez Tapanes et al (2010) were able to prove, by diagnostic ultrasound, penetration of the oscillations to an 8cm depth without any undue pressure being applied. Observed physiological effects of the therapy include, significant pain reduction, oedema resorption, fibrosis reduction, limited production of inflammatory mediators, especially during the treatment for chronic pain, a strengthening of the cutaneous tissues and stimulation of the wound healing process. It greatly benefits acute injury treatment, boosting the natural healing process and for day one post surgical treatment reducing pain, swelling and inflammation and promoting mobility and sensitivity. It can be used over implanted pins and plates.

Applied via vinyl gloves or applicators from Practitioner to Patient, handheld applicators also enable self-management, with patients continuous feedback of now feeling 'in control' of chronic conditions such as Lymphoedema and Lipoedema. Partners/supportive others can be instructed in its application, bringing a viable treatment option into the home, improving patient quality of life. Complex cases can also be treated effectively, including lymphoedema in the head and neck, breast fibrosis and genital oedema. Personal units are lightweight, battery operated and travel friendly. In addition to eight PubMed studies, DEEP OSCILLATION® has also been published in the Journal of Lymphoedema, The European Journal of Lymphology, and The Primary Care Nursing review.
